       Body:
This problem only occurs if Maven is compiled on JDK 1.4 and then run on JDK 1.3. This is because the class files will have a reference to the StringBuffer.append(StringBuffer) method (instead of StringBuffer.append(Object)) when compiled on JDK 1.4.

See: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/lang/StringBuffer.html#append(java.lang.StringBuffer)

So I guess the bug can be closed. Perhaps it's worth while mentioning that Maven must be built on the same JDK it will run on?

Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: MAVEN-167
    Summary: JXR plugin requires JDK 1.4
       Type: Bug

     Status: Assigned
   Priority: Major

 Time Spent: Unknown
   Estimate: 0 minutes

    Project: maven
  Component: None
   Versions:
             1.0-beta-8

    Updated: Sun, 1 Dec 2002 3:29 PM
Environment: CVS HEAD, JDK 1.4

Description:
org.apache.maven.jxr.JxrBean uses StringBuffer.append(StringBuffer) on line 238 (last line in getRelativeLink). That's a JDK 1.4 method, and a java.lang.NoSuchMethodError will be thrown on inferior JDKs.

I haven't found any docs that say what JDK is required for Maven, but I would recommend support for JDK 1.3.x for still a little while. Lots of people are still on JDK 1.3.x.
